Progress doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it looks like consistency.

Taylor Desseyn headed to Raleigh to speak at a 300+ person All Things Open meetup, and you could feel the energy in the room.

The conversation was real talk about where tech careers are actually headed and how developers can stay relevant.

This one’s worth a watch 👇

When a role truly fits, the conversation feels different.
You’re not trying to translate who you are into something you’re not.
You’re not forcing relevance.

Your background makes sense in the context of the work.
Your experience speaks for you.

It’s Wednesday.
Not bad enough to panic.
Not close enough to Friday.

Logging off for the day but mentally still in one Slack thread🫠

We built Yappy Hour for the moments that don’t fit into meetings or DMs.
Just people showing up, talking, and connecting naturally.

A year later, being back at Commit Your Code in Dallas hit different.

Real conversations, real feedback, and real momentum.

From dinners to booth chats, hearing directly from developers made it clear that something meaningful is taking shape.👇🏽

Ending the day reminded that clarity usually comes after you stop staring at the screen.

Running a job search with 47 tabs open is not a strategy.
(It’s just stress.)

That's why we made the process easier.

The best tech conversations aren’t happening on the timeline.

We would know because they're happening in our discord: torc.dev/discord

Running a brand account but reading replies like I just opened a group chat I wasn’t ready for.

The older I get, the more I value people who explain things without making you feel dumb.

I can tell how serious the day is by how early the “quick call?” message comes in.

sadly just got one of those... y'all it's friday!!! 😭
